That Inquirer article does at least indicate it is going to get much easier to install Linux on ARM desktop distros on ARM devices very soon. There is old Dolphin guide describing how to install Linux4Tegra on Shield TV Here is another video showing what system specs in Ubuntu show when we know for sure it is running Linux4Tegra on Jetson Nano for comparison.Īll this has me wanting to check out Linux4Tegra on Shield TV which has much stronger GPU compared to Jetson Nano or Shield Tablet. If you pause the video at beginning showing system specs you can see it is running Linux4Tegra or some other Linux on ARM variant because armv7 CPU and Tegra GPU are listed showing Ubuntu and everything running in Ubuntu is running natively on ARM. There is a common denominator there - Valve. How on earth did Steam for Linux get recompiled for Linux4Tegra? And how did Counter Strike get recompiled for Linux4Tegra? Linux4Tegra runs Ubuntu desktop but is not full Linux desktop or has full Ubuntu repos you find on x86 or 圆4 devices.įinding that video showing Counter Strike and Steam client running on a five year old tablet does sort of show major sauce going on. It misled me and is why I am now asking what I am! I agree about the Inquirer article it should never refer to full Linux desktop distros or x86 apps running natively on ARM devices. The video is not high enough res or high enough quality to see icon and text in tab when Steam client is brought into focus for to see what streaming app was used.Ĭan anybody explain the steps needed to recompile Steam for Linux so it works on an ARM device running Linux4Tegra?Īre we more likely to see the arrival of Steam Link App for ARM app rather than a Steam for Linux on ARM client?
We can see at begining of video armv7 CPU and Tegra K1 GPU are listed so the tablet itself is running a Linux for ARM OS, likely being Linux4Tegra. Counter Strike 1.6 was possibly Linux version being streamed from an x86_64 machine using a third party streaming app. This video shows a Valve pc game running through Steam client but does not show how Steam was launched so Steam and game are unlikely to be running natively on ARM. Recent news about changes to Linux kernel 5.1 helps bring Linux desktops to ARM devices and after finding older videos showing pc games running through Steam on ARM devices has me interested in setting up multi OS Shield TV and interested in Steam for Linux again. This has completely replaced my more than VR ready pc. My favourite Steam Machine is Shield TV where I am currently using a cloud gaming vm running Steam for windows with Quadro P5000.
